In the setting “MM I” the effective capacity value of the input “IN” is 100
pF, in the setting “MM II” it will be 300 pF. To make a decision you can
choose the value that is nearest to the capacity value given in the data
sheet of the record player pickup system or in the user manual of the
record player. Regarding the fact that the audible effect is perceived dif-
ferently by different persons and that it depends on personal preference
it is possible that the other setting will prove more suited. You are encou-
raged test both options and choose the setting that leads to the playback
result you like most (sound colour, spatiality). There is no hazard in swit-
ching between “MM 1” and “MM II”. Any additional adaption to the
pickup system is not possible.
Your local HiFi specialist will assist you if there is any help needed. He
will set up your record player if you let him.
If your record player is equipped with a crystal pickup system
or if it contains a phono preamplifier then the record player
must be connected to the amplifier’s line level input directly and an
external phono preamplifier is not necessary.
